What practices help me actually enjoy being alone without feeling restless?

Mirabai's solitude wasn't empty—it was full of devotion, music, prayer, writing. She had practices that transformed her aloneness into presence. Restlessness usually means you haven't given yourself something to tend. Notice what calls to you: Is it making something? Learning? Moving your body? Sitting with grief? Mirabai sang. The specific practice matters less than that it's genuinely yours, not something you think you should do. Start small. Fifteen minutes of something real—not scrolling, not productivity, but something that makes you feel like you're touching your own life. Cooking, drawing, walking without a destination, sitting with tea and your own thoughts. The key is attention. Restlessness quiets when you're actually present to something. Also, solitude deepens over time. Week one might feel strange. Week three, you find the rhythm. Give yourself permission to be awkward with it at first. Mirabai didn't become who she was overnight. She practiced devotion until it became her breath. What small devotion can you practice today?
